Rye's enchanting cobbled streets are lined with historic inns and restaurants as well as a host of unusual shops selling antiques, collectables, local produce and works by the town’s many resident artists and potters. The town plays host to many events throughout the year including the famous Rye Bay Scallop festival in February, the Arts Festival every September
Whatever the weather, it is difficult not to be seduced by the beguiling beauty of nearby Romney Marshes, almost as mysterious and lonely as they were in the 17th Century when smugglers swapped local wool for brandy from France. The 100-square-mile marsh encompasses tiny villages, ancient, secluded churches and The Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.
The historic seaside town of Hastings is only a few miles away, with its ancient churches, tiny narrow streets and the ruins of a castle built by William the Conqueror. When the weather is inclement there is The Blue Reef Aquarium and fantastic smugglers caves to visit. For history buffs, why not visit the site that on 14th October 1066 an army of invading Normans defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings. There you can stand on the very spot where King Harold was slain and the course of our history changed forever. You can explore the ruins of the atmospheric abbey, built by William the Conquer to commemorate the thousands who died. It is a great day out for the whole family, with a major new exhibition that uses film, computer technology and interactive exhibits to bring to life this bloodiest of conflicts.

Notes:

The Light House is a substantial 3 bedroom house that has been imaginatively furnished in an appealing, contemporary, seaside style equipped for guest's enjoyment, relaxation and comfort in mind. The open plan kitchen, dining room and garden room are the perfect 'hang out' or 'chill out' area for groups of friends or families alike. One particular highlight is the sunny, south-facing, decked patio garden complete with barbecue / fire pit, dining table and chairs- a perfect spot for relaxing in the sun or with a beer after a day on the beach. Water sports and golfing devotees will appreciate the secure garage for storing wet suits, boards, golf clubs etc. After a day on the beach there is no shortage of indoor and/or evening entertainment provided with an enormous 50' plasma TV with Sky and XBox One.

A great holiday destination and lovely accommodation.

This was our first trip to Cambersands and booked in at The Lighthouse. It literally was a home away from home. Good sized rooms, lovely kitchen and dining area, a cosy feel to the house and great indoor entertainment provided for the rainy day we had in the way of board games and sky TV. We were greeted with a lovely freshly made cake, biscuits, apple juice and a bottle of Prosecco. Thank you Sophie and Richard! We would definitely book here again!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Camber Sands. House was immaculate, Sophie and Richard so helpful.

The house was immaculate and we had everything we needed. If I was being really fussy, the only annoying thing was there is no shelf in the ensuite so my toiletries were stored on the floor! Tried using the window ledge but the open window blew the blind and everything ended up on the floor! Would recommend the managing company - very helpful and professional.

A wonderful property in a great location

We have stayed many times in Camber often just myself, my husband and dog and usually stay in one of the 2 bed properties but needed something bigger and this certainly fitted the bill!

The house was so well equipped with everything we needed. The garden is a real sun trap and we loved having breakfast under the olive trees! We loved the large open plan kitchen / dining room (its bigger than it looks in the photos!) and having sky tv was a massive hit with our partners!

I would also like to thank Richard and Sophie for all their help. The service they offer is fantastic and not something we have experienced else where - hence we keep coming back to your properties!

We loved it so much that we have booked it for next year!

Owner's Response: Thank you very much for this wonderful review!
We are really pleased you enjoyed another holiday with us and that you really liked this property.
We look forward to seeing again next year!

The location is great, unfortunately the property focused on gadgets rather than working basics.

The property is furnished to a high standard with all the technology you would require. Unfortunately this was to the determent of working basics that you would expect in a property in this price range. There was nowhere to hang or store clothes in the third bedroom not even hooks! The shower in the family bathroom flooded the room every time it was used unless you sat in the bath and showered yourself by hand and the extract fans in both the family bathroom and the under- stairs toilet did not work. If these had been maintained to the high standard of the rest of the property then the star value would have been a lot higher.

Perfect stay!!

We booked the Lighthouse to celebrate our annual "3 generations" holiday event. It was just perfect sizeable, clean rooms, nice decoration and a beautiful location! The sea was very nearby and Rye was a real surprise. Thank you Richard and Sophie for the warm welcome and we look forward to staying in the Lighthouse again!
